Hello Idiots!
I wanted to share some exciting news of mine from a humanitarian project I just completed.
The goal of my project was to raise donations for my local animal shelter by selling or 'trading' cookies donated by a local bakery. I discussed with the owner of the bakery and he was more then happy to donate. Once that was done, I arranged a meeting with the owner of the local Petsmart to hold the event. He was more then willing to allow us to have it there.
After all the hard stuff was out of the way, @Arrienn was kind enough to make a flyer for my event. (Thanks again, Arrienn!)
The basic idea of it was people could donate an item like, towels/blankets, dog or cat good, treats, toy or anything else needed for the animal shelter and they could receive a cookie! Or they could just purchase a cookie.
After five hours of trading and selling I ended up with $105 in cash for the shelter and,
2 large bags of dog food
2 medium bags of dog food
1 large cat food
1 small cat food
5 box/bagged dog treats
1 opened dog chow
1 small boxed dog food
7 cans dog food
15 cans dog food
4 used towels
1 used blanket
3 toy stalkings (8 toys each)
1 chew toy
Everything is equal to over $200 for the animal shelter!
I just thought I'd shared the excitement with you guys.
